NFC makes sense to allow the phone / OS to detect which back cover is being applied & change the theme accordingly.
would also with a stretch of the imagination allow to connect a hardware keyboard instead of a back cover.

Woop! Back cover can contain intelligence and more hardware.

Seems "everything is possible". Where the contacts/interface is and exactly how it works is unclear but this is good news for everyone on here I reckon.

How amazing would it be if the Other Half was a HWKB?
Jolla themselves certainly seem to be indicating that a HWKB is a possibility.

As a music nut I wonder could it be possible to example fit slightly larger battery there and proper headphone amp. Would be amazing.

I am very interested in this device. I can have my N9 with a little more horsepower and some android compatibility (without actually running Android). I am definitely in for a pre-order!

except trying to "connect" N9 & 808PV, i never got around to use NFC
ever
so, why not?
& could always provide a blend back cover w/out NFC tag, for other uses; it's a bloody piece of polymer (aka plastic), right?
